Market baskets are made to be taken out.
The leather handles are designed to sit comfortably on a shoulder or in a hand, and the woven body is structured enough to hold its shape under load. Classisc handles suit a handheld carry; long handles bring the basket to shoulder height. The mini market size carries the same construction in a compact form.
Market baskets come in open weave and closed weave designs, depending on the style. Open weave has visible spacing between the fibres, giving the basket a lighter, more relaxed look. Closed weave sits tighter, with a denser, more contained finish.

African market baskets are handwoven shopping baskets from Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, woven from elephant grass.
They’re one of the most recognised forms of Bolga weaving: a structured carrying basket with leather handles, built to hold a full load and still look the part.
The leather is sustainable offcut hide, wrapped by specialist leather workers over a grass core.
Bashiri carries market baskets with standard handles, long handles for shoulder carry, and a mini market size.
Each basket reflects a different weaving approach, from open, light-filled patterns to tightly woven designs with a rich, detailed finish.
African market baskets are designed for carrying and everyday use, with a structured shape and sturdy handles that make them easy to hold or carry over the shoulder. They’re typically deeper and more open at the top than storage-focused basket styles.
Other carry options include shoulder Bolga bags, oval Bolga baskets, and Mega wawa baskets, all handwoven and designed for everyday use.
Our market baskets are available with standard handles, long handles, or in a mini market size, and can be woven in either an open weave or a closed weave, depending on the design and level of spacing between fibres.
You can choose your basket in two ways. With Colour of Your Choice, you select your preferred colour tones and we choose a basket to match, or choose from individually named baskets, where each piece is shown on its own and you receive the exact basket pictured.
Woven market baskets are packed to help maintain their shape in transit and are shipped from Australia. Shipping costs and delivery timeframes are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90.
